  • Patent number: 8037789
    Abstract: A drywall anchor installation device comprising, inter alia, a main driver member configured to engage a Philips head screw top, a plunger member configured to engage a Philips head screw top, and a plunger member guiding mechanism including a compression spring and a guide pin. In operation, the main driver member engages a drywall anchor at the Philips head indentation and the plunger member extends inside the axial bore of the anchor until contacting the interior surface of the axial bore or the closed end of the anchor. Once contact is made with the closed end of the anchor, the compression spring of the plunger guiding mechanism is engaged, stabilizing the anchor as the anchor is driven into the wall. Once the anchor is driven into the wall, the plunger member is used to drive the anchor screw without having to adjust the driving device.

  • Patent number: 6280279
    Abstract: A self-aligning wing structure and method of assembly utilizes a main spar formed with spaced apart notch openings. The main spar is positioned on a substantially flat surface for receiving a plurality of ribs formed with leading edge slot openings and trailing edge slot openings. A leading edge core member is slid into the rib leading edge slot openings and a trailing edge core member is slid into the rib trailing edge slot openings. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve a self-aligning aerodynamic wing structure in accordance with the present invention.
